@KrissyKat I think this is an excellent idea so long as the plan is simply a cover story so that they can advertise the role of the person who gets to inspect children’s genitals then anyone who applies gets arrested and chucked in the nonce wing.

@FranceskaMann I've been raising the alarm and many people close to me think I'm overreacting. I've gotten four unsubscribes from this newsletter alone. I know it's easier to stick your head in the sand, but yeah, this series of crises and the scale of the food shortage (which will be a global famine, let's be clear) are going to be a total shock to many people.

@FritzAdalis "The group sought a court order blocking Fenwick Island from counting votes by 'non-human artificial entities' in future elections."Watch big techs spin up thousands of "AI Agents" with servers in Delaware to vote there and claim that this precedent allows it

@mvilain Yeah, it's a lot of work to make these decisions. It always seems some choices are easy and others much more of a struggle — between multiple good candidates or, in other cases, between two that both seem to have major flaws. @mithriltabby always has a good list of sites for state-wide elections. (We don't live in the same county, so no help there.) https://mithriltabby.dreamwidth.org/182521.htmlAnd I have few other sites I know to check, too. I dropped off my ballot a few hours ago, so I'm set for this time.

@ChrisMayLA6 It's not a suicide, it's more like an entry into the Darwin awards.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the midterms, now’s a good time! San Francisco has a number of nefarious ballot measures that elites & tech are pushing to destroy the people’s say in city government. Governments work for us, not billionaires.I recommend the League of Pissed Off Voter’s June Primary Guide! https://www.theleaguesf.org/#SanFrancisco #elections #democracy

@tc_morekindness More really good insights; thank you! I'm not in the market for a therapist myself, but this good information to share with folks I know who might be.

@stux yeh, read AJ, they usually have the low down.That said, when I read it yesterday, then read Netanyahu was going to have a call with Trump to discuss the deal, I knew it was going to get torpedoed

@AkaSci The two sides seem to be bigCorp vs the individual. the bigotry, epstine files, racism, political name calling etc is the divide and conquer strategy.Note how the bigCorp media is says nothing about the attacks on SS, medicare or how the folks running the federal gov(congress, courts, WH) are just ignoring the constitution.

@Wen about 10 years ago on twitterA French telecoms company erects a large tower in a small townof course, complaints pour in: the tower is giving me headaches, the tower is interfering with my wifi, etc etcThe town calls a meeting and an engineer from the telecoms company explains:There is no electricity at the towerThere is no power; it is not onare the townspeople decieved by this posh talk ?NO !!!

@bich @AkaSci I was also surprised to learn, that the system was built this way:https://infosec.exchange/@13reak/116597347501109724

@gusseting @gnoll110 not my article, I don’t write on substack (I write on ghost at https://stuff.davidaugust.com ). I too hope the author migrates platforms.
